WE LOVE LASER!

Having lots of students come through the doors at Laserlea with their projects at usually an early stage.  We very rarely get to see the finished product/piece.  So when we went around Manchester colleges and uni's graduate shows we went a little snap happy. 

Firstly, we have Amber Hulme from Graphic Design at Stockport College whose project was inspired by the constant comparison English folk make, that other cultures, languages and social circles change and destroy the English language.

Here is what she said about it 'I decided to shine a little light onto this subject in the theme of Loanwords. 

A Loanword or Borrowing is a word taken from a language and introduced and combined with another language, such as English. This is the basis to all languages but most commonly English, this is due to politics, wars and travel. 

Poinant message laser cut from paper in lab this week about the Holocaust by Alicia Pfeffer. The smoke residue is part of the piece.

The one thing I can't believe is that people in her uni, had no idea what the Holocaust was!??

We often get asked how small we can engrave text and we thought that an experiment would help put it in perspective.  Sorry about the poor image but it was taken with our Iphone for speed.  We will put a proper one together and update.
